20. But the wicked will die;the enemies of the Lord will vanish like wild flowers;they will disappear like smoke.
21. The wicked borrow and never pay back,but good people are generous with their gifts.
22. Those who are blessed by the Lord will possess the land,but those who are cursed by him will be driven out.
23. The Lord guides people in the way they should goand protects those who please him.
24. If they fall, they will not stay down,because the Lord will help them up.
25. I am old now; I have lived a long time,but I have never seen good people abandoned by the Lordor their children begging for food.
26. At all times they give freely and lend to others,and their children are a blessing.
27. Turn away from evil and do good,and your descendants will always live in the land;
